Right now into this world when we are always hungry for entertainment and always have jolly and happy post over flooding on our social media accounts… What happens if suddenly a social media account goes inactive ….! Do we witness any change in our life? Don’t know why we are running so fast!! Do we have plans to match the speed of light? Anyways I accept that even I m like everyone else never care if something wrong is happening around me? But yeah had it been someone close to me … It would have definitely affected my life style … But then there is where we go wrong, we don’t care about it until and unless it doesn’t affect us…
Oh before I completely get into the topic, you should have the idea why I m talking about all these things. I was struggling to find a topic to write my blog on and suddenly can across the documentary “Amoli”. I naturally made my mom watch the documentary.
The documentary “Amoli”, a hindi word which means priceless talks about how we nevercome across the heinous business in our country.
The documentary is very well divided into four chapters which explains the whole concept of child trafficking. It starts with trying to explain the pain of Amoli’s parents and there is where I saw my mother crying, they don’t know if their daughter is ok or not, if she had the lunch or not. In the introduction part the anti trafficking activist Raju Nepali explains why, how, and where these children go missing. He says these children are kidnapped or are victim to trafficking because of demand for domestic servant and sex workers in large number. He also adds that every every source places have large number of sleeper agents who take children along with them to bigger cities in the name of job placement and are pushed into sex working.
The documentary says “Every 8 min a child goes missing in India”
CHHAPTER 1: मोल (becoming a commodity)
The business starts with giving a price to a human life, to a young girl. These girls are bought for as little as RS 1000 or sometimes for mere RS 200 or 300. Usually the money young girls earn is distributed between the pimp and the brothel madam, the only price of a young girls’ childhood is make-up, clothes and food.
Y.K Gautam, another anti-trafficking activist explains why minor girls are trafficked more. And the first reason being that they are more vulnerable and less mature. Second, being the belive on the myth that if a elderly man have sex with a very young girl then he would be cured of all diseases.
CHAPTER 2: माया (the devil demands)
Dr. Suman Lal a social worker says, it’s the rich and powerful people who invest into this as business. The other part of the reality is explained by Neelam, a survivor, trafficked at 14, she shares how because of the demand she given injections to induce artificial growth and how she was treated like am animal.
CHAPTER 3: मंथन (trapped in tradition)
Sometimes even family push their daughters into sex work for mere 200 to 500 rupees. Tara explains how a daughter in some communication are forced and trained about the sex work.
CHAPTER 4: मुक्ति (end of nightmare)
Ashok Rajagir, cheif investigative officer, Rescue Foundation says that one can stop the bussiness only if their end of demand.
At times when these children are thrown out of the bussiness or are rescued, it might be the end of those bad days but those days never let them move ahead in there life things go topsy turvey for them. Nothing remains normal and if someone wants to move on and try to find some reason for there lives the society never let them do so.
I being less emotional than my mother just thought of how things change in a moment for someone, and they can’t be what they were earlier. But my mom I saw her crying, she said how difficult it would be for those parents who never get to know what happened to their child… how difficult would it be for them to eat, sleep and talk and be normal …
If just the thought to make her cry, then we can’t imagine how much painful it would be for those parents to be alive.
I (i.e. Aditi Parasher) thank you to go through my post and let me know all you feel about my post in the comment section below.
Do films like these actually impact the society? More than we getting choked? For one- it’s brilliantly put. Explanation has been given in great detail. Very intelligently written.
The only miss is during the last part where then conclusions had to be made like a more aware media student. There shouls have been more about societal impact of such pieces. But, very good though
